KENTUCKY POLITICS.

ne State Badly Hampered by the Men
who Manage the Democratic Party.
EDsciaI the INDIANAPOLIS Journal.
WASHINGTON, July 25-"The Democratic
managers in Kentucky are likely to find them
selves left out in the cold unless they pay more
attention to the signs of the times" said pro-
eressive young man from the blue grass
gions to your correspondent to-day. "For years
there has been growing feeling of dissatisfac-
ton with the men and methods employed in
running the elections" he continued. 1.-THE
political fabric OF the State is worm eaten and
gotten. The result is stagnation and depression
everywhere. While her sister States every
side are prospering materially in every respect,
Kentucky is at a standstill. Yet there is not a
State IL the Union which possesses more of the
raw material of prosperity"
ITO what cause do you ascribe this state of
affairs}"

man in the State with the political methods of
those who rule

'For the same reason that the better element

and bottail element in the metropolis. For the
reason shat business men everywhere take very
little interest in politics but allow the heller

Certainly. But Kentucky is generally re-
Rarded as a sure Democratic State and for that
reason the worse class Of Republicans not
active in the councils of the party they are

There is a chance, certainly. Buckner. the

Hardly. But the Labor party is growing

not be surprising If the heretofore certain Dem
ocratic majority in the State is entirely wiped
out in the next presiden tial if the Labor
party places a ticket OF it's in the field. If
